Who ordered all of this snow?
This winter has certainly been making up for the past couple. We've already had a lot of snow. We're currently getting a lot of snow. And we're probably going to get a lot more snow. Over the past seven days, three different snow storms have hit my area. That's about three feet of snow on top of the patio table in the photo above. My neighbor Tony helped me clear it off. I've really been trying to keep the area around the table somewhat clear of snow as I still need a place to put out food for the animals.
Throughout this winter, I have had regular visits from the birds, squirrels and rabbits. Though the visits have been brief, they have also been more predictable. The birds are around all day. The squirrels stop by between 7:30am and 2pm. Lastly, the rabbits show up right before the sun disappears beneath the horizon.
The birds and squirrels have been getting nuts and the bunnies have been getting blueberries and carrots.
One thing I like about snow is how much easier it is to spot the animals around us. Animal tracks, such as these bird and squirrel tracks, can be seen all over the patio. That's about the only good thing I can say about snow at this point. Spring can't get here soon enough.
How's your winter been?
Wherever we are, we are surrounded by nature. It's always trying to communicate with us. Take time to notice. #NoticeNature.
